I have a question regarding memory usage for strings. When I load a big number of persons, there are many hundred with the same name. Is this handled automatically so that there will be only one copy of the string for a certain name or should I write my own code for this? Or does it depend how the strings are loaded and to what kind of variable these are assigned? I didn't find a good source to read about this topic. Any hints for that? Thanks Christian

Just a question regarding Nexus Quality Suite: I looked at it some years ago and I noticed, if you have a big project, the performance for Line Timer / Method Timer was not very good when configuring which methods to trace and which not. Was there an improvement in this regard? And by the way: AQTime was a perfect profiler, I really miss it. Then it was aquired by SmartBear and since then it's terrible because the only improvement of the product they made was adding more and more annoying registration code. Christian

Unfortunately Indy TIdFTP Client does not support SFTP. The discussions about this I found are already some years old. Is there a chance this will be added? And if not, what is a good alternative? I need something that can be fully integrated in my application so that it works for users who can just enter a servername, username and password. Christian

Clipper and I think Smalltalk had anonymous methods as well. And this at the time when Java was not even born. Christian

The TBSItemProvider objects are used by any thread. And what David writes will work. I was thinking of something like this as well. The question for me is, how to do the cleanup: Either I have to call a function at the end of each thread or is there a global place to do this? Christian

This is my use case. TBSItemProvider = class(TBSManagedInterface) strict private FNotificationCache : Integer; FNotificationCaches : IBSList<TNotifyCacheItem>; public procedure DisableNotifications; procedure EnableNotifications; end; My application has 1-n objects of type TBSItemProvider. Basically this is used to handle the records of one database table. Normally the provider distributes messages/notifications after each insert/update/delete operation of one item. When a thread changes many items, I call DisableNotifications and in this case, notifications are cached in FNotificationCaches. So this is the reason these two private variables should be "per thread". Christian

I have a class TProvider where I create 1-n instances in my application. Now I need a threadvar for each instance. The number of instances will never be more than up to 50 objects. What is a good pattern to create a temporary data block per thread/object? Regards Christian

I would be interested to know if anyone in these forums also deals with software for swimming and sports written in Delphi. Christian

Thanks for your instructions. I did like this, but when I call map2pdb I get a long list of errors. For example I get many lines like "Debug: Module has no source files: xxxxxxx" where xxxxxxx is the name of a unit, that is part of the project. Then the only thing I can start in VTune is "Hotspots". This runs fine and at the end I get a summary report. But this is not really helpfull since the "Top Hotspots" are Windows calls only. Using the Caller/Callee I can find my units, but when I open I don't see a lot: Percentage is there, CPU Time is zero most of the times and I don't see the number of calls. I used AQTime before, but support and I have no working version anymore. They had a call tree and a graphic where you could easily navigate down all routines. Maybe I just didn't find the correct view in VTune yet. My questions - Should I care about these errors when creating the pdb file? How to understand the error and how to solve it? - Where can I find a good tutorial for VTune in order to get the info I used before with AQTime? Thanks for any help Christian

I'm using Superobjects to handle JSON data. Now I have to handle a result, where there are identifiers with dots: { "splash.annually": "normal" } This library cannot handle this data because it looks at "splash.annually" as path. Can somebody recommend me another library? What I like with Superobjects: It is fast and it offers reference counted object handling using interfaces. Regards Christian

Yes. But I just set a break point in DoVerifyPeer without event assigned to OnVerifyPeer. Now I added an event and it works. What I don't understand, how I can verify that it is really the original certificate from my server. The Url is https://www.swimrankings.net/. The event is called two times. Both times AOk=False, once AError is 20, the second time it is 21. When I set AOk to true, the request works, if I do nothing in the event, the request doesn't work at all. With my limited knowledge about encryption I'm a bit lost here. Christian

I use TIdHTTP to make REST requests to my server. In order to avoid that somebody can analyze the traffic between my application and the server I would like to verify the certificate. Right now my code looks like this: sslIO := TIdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL.Create(Self); sslIO.SSLOptions.SSLVersions := [sslvTLSv1, sslvTLSv1_1, sslvTLSv1_2]; sslIO.SSLOptions.Mode := sslmUnassigned; sslIO.SSLOptions.VerifyMode := []; sslIO.SSLOptions.VerifyDepth := 0; FHttp.IOHandler := sslIO; I found some examples and tried to add an OnVerifyPeer event. But this event is never called. Are there any more options I have to set? Can somebody point me to a working example? Thanks Regards Christian

No, there is no such check in SetElements. In this case here, these are persistent objects. But I added a TMonitor.Enter / Leave arround the access of TBSDictionary/TDictionary since the code runs in an application with multiple threads and it may happen, that two threads run the method GetBasispunkt for the same object at the same time. Since the error is not reproducable, this may solve the problem.

I have an error in my application. It happens from time to time on my server, but I cannot reproduce it. The call stack from madExcept looks like this: exception number : 1 exception class : EAccessViolation exception message : Access violation at address 0040BB2E in module 'Logo12RestAPI.exe'.

private and protected are "friends" for classes within the same unit. If you don't want that, use "strict private" and "strict protected". For your second problem, you should provide an example. It is not clear to me what doesn't work. And by the way: When you write questions like this in a forum where most of the answers come from volunteers, you probably end up on the ignore list of many of them. Regards Christian
